Infinity Watch was the perfect example of Marvel putting the WORST artists on what should have been a top seller- it's like they make some titles to fail. so weird.


Yeah- I know about FF 66. I actually have one that's a rag- barely held together.
Many years ago (in 91, I think), I was hanging out in a comic store with my best pal (he worked there) and this guy came in with a paper sack- an old grocerery bag so worn as to be like cloth.

The guy wanted an estimate on how much these old comics might be- he had maybe a hundred old comics there worth maybe five grand- first X-Men, Avengers, silver age Batmans, first Thor appearance, etc.

We were looking at each other like "we could take this guy fora ride", but instead we were square with him- we gave honest estimates on everything.

Turned out the guy's brother had just died and those comics were from his childhood- sad damn story.
Anyway, we bagged and boarded the stuff just to be cool and he let us pick a comic each for ourselves- both of us took super ratty comics instead of anything of value- my pal rob got Nick Fury's first appearance and I got Warlock's.
I still have taht in a hard mylar in my "Prize Box" along with my mint Iron Man #1 and all sorts of other crazy stuff.

If you're looking for a comic that kicks ass and will always go up in value, get Iron Man #55- I bought mine back when no one knew about it (as part of my run of Iron Man- 1-300!).
It's a little story by Jim Starlin, back when he was only writing part time and, though he had all these great ideas, Marvel had never given him a shot...then called him to write and draw a fill in issue of Iron Man, so he figured "What the hell, I'll never get work from thee guys again anyway" and introduced Thanos, Drax, Mentor, eros (Starfox) and Moondragon.

That's a lot for one filler issue!

The rest is comic's history!
